Kilimanjaro Final Check List

One of the important prerequisites of a successful summit attempt is being properly equipped. Ensure that you are well equipped. Please remember to limit the weight of your duffel bag and its content to be carried by the porters on the climb to 15 kg (32 lbs.) or less. Extra luggage, including clean clothes to wear after your climb, can be left at the hotel in Moshi.

Please note: This checklist is only a guideline.

Essential Items

Duffel bag – large enough for all climbing gear and clothing. To be carried by the porters. (Hence your sleeping bag needs to be able to cope with extremely cold temperatures. We recommend sleeping bags that have a rating at a minimum of -10 degrees Celsius (14 Fahrenheit). It is however better to have a warmer sleeping bag than a colder one – you would rather be too warm than too cold.)
